Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 March 2026
349. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration to provide an update on an application as per correspondence (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23149/26]
View answerI can advise the Deputy that the persons referred to created visa applications on 8 October 2025. However, the application forms and payment have not been received by the relevant Visa Office to date. As substantial time has passed, these applications have since been closed.
It is open to the applicants to make new visa applications. Once they are satisfied with their application they should click “submit” and print a copy of the summary sheet. This contains some of the information the applicants have entered and also instructions on what they are required to do next to submit their application, supporting documentation, and the application fee (if one is payable). Only upon receipt of all the necessary documentation and fees, can the visa applications be processed further.
